However, after the recording leak, many of Vuong Gia Ve's past scandals were discussed again. Among them, many actors have suffered when participating in this director's films.
According to Sohu, in 2010, Korean actress Song Hye Kyo accepted to participate as a guest in the film "Seven Nights of the Rich" by Vuong Gia Ve. She plays the character Truong Vinh Thanh, the wife of the male lead Diep Van (Luong Trieu Vy).
Initially, Song Hye Kyo's filming schedule was expected to be only a few months, but in the end, the filming process actually lasted nearly 3 years (2010-2012). When she joined the film crew, the script was not complete and she only received one page of improvised dialogue per day.
There were even rumors that Vuong Gia Ve asked the film crew to collect Song Hye Kyo's passport to prevent her from leaving China. Although this news has not been confirmed, the fate of Song Hye Kyo's character when the drama aired has made many people angry.
Despite spending 3 years tirelessly filming in China, the role of Truong Vinh Thanh of the Song surname actress only appeared for about 6 minutes on screen and had only one line. Important scenes such as "swatting Luong Trieu Vy" and foot washing were completely cut.
According to the media, Vuong Gia Ve is famous for his filming style that does not require a clear script, then extends the progress, then cuts and edits the final product. Therefore, not only Song Hye Kyo, but many other actors have also had to endure the way of working of Vuong Gia Ve.

Top stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Luang Zhao Wei, and Luang Jia Xi had to film a scene dozens of times in Vuong Jia Wei's works.
Truong Hoc Huu said that just a simple express of a headscarf that he had to film 60 times until the director was satisfied.
Director Ly An also admitted: "Only Vuong Gia Ve can do this", emphasizing the fact that most directors are limited by the production company and requires the establishment of a standardized cooperation mechanism and a specific schedule.
However, there is also a star considered an "expected" of Vuong Gia Ve, that is female singer and actor Vuong Phi - who starred in "Chongqing Sam Lam", "2046".
Vuong Phi refused to film a scene many times and decided to leave the set on time, not accepting Vuong Gia Ve's extension of filming time.
But the "difficult" director praised Vuong Phi for being someone who "focuses on conveying the energy of the present moment".
